Although Etsy is relatively small compared to other cross-border e-commerce platforms, it is mainly a platform for selling handicrafts, so the cost is low and the profit is high. Many cross-border sellers have settled in, resulting in increasingly strict platform rules. Improper operation will result in account suspension, such as a seller operating multiple accounts will result in account suspension. So how does Etsy prevent account association? Today, let's share Etsy's anti-association method.
The first thing to pay attention to is the IP address when logging into the store. One IP address can only log into one Etsy store. To log into multiple accounts, you need to switch IP addresses. This is easy to understand. Generally, cross-border e-commerce platforms will detect the seller's IP address. If it is found that several accounts are logged in under the same IP address, then as long as one of the accounts has a problem, the other accounts will be implicated and blocked. Therefore, for the security of multi-account operation, it is recommended to use an independent IP address to ensure that each account can be logged in under an IP address that has not been used by anyone.
Then there is the issue of login devices. Many cross-border sellers use one computer to log in to multiple Etsy stores. This is definitely not possible because the system will detect your device information, such as browser cookies, operating system, font language and other parameters. If it is found that many accounts are operated on the same characteristic device, then it will be determined that these Etsy accounts are related. As long as one account is blocked, the other accounts will suffer. It is recommended to use a fingerprint browser for anti-association, such as Hubstudio browser, Purple Bird browser, etc., which can maintain the independence of device features. The fingerprint browser can create unlimited Etsy login environments. The parameters of each environment are different, and with independent IP, it is like multiple new computers and networks. In this way, even if the system comes to detect it, it cannot detect it. After all, it cannot distinguish so many features, so there will be no association.
Etsy platform has good traffic and fast payment cycle. In the early stage, there may be a cash flow every 10 days, but if the store has been operating for more than half a year, the payment can be received every other day. What does it mean? If a customer places an order today, you can receive payment from the third-party payment platform you have bound tomorrow.
However, Etsy has strict auditing when registering a store. They generally check whether the registration information is reused (most of the information sold publicly is at risk of second-hand transactions), whether the registration information meets the conditions for opening a store (for example, minors cannot open a store), whether the information is true (they will verify it through banks and other financial institutions), the social credit of the person providing the information, etc. (they will retrieve relevant data about you through the social background investigation database).
Compared with other platforms, the selection of products on Etsy is very simple. Because the Etsy platform has strict requirements on products, the products we can sell are distinctive, niche, and small. Compared with Amazon, Etsy is more friendly to novice sellers and will support more traffic on newly listed products.
After reading how Etsy prevents account association, I believe everyone will protect their own store accounts. I wish you success in sales soon!
